PROHIBITION AND HIGH LICENSE.
MInnesOta's Methodist Conference AL
most breaks LIN in q Row.

MINNEApoIIs, Oct. IS Especial Telegram
to the BEE. The state Methodist conference
had lively time Yesterday on the prohibition
question. 1t always causes "a commoton and
it almost caused "A row. Things We're very
lively for little while. The temperance
committee, of which Rev. w. w. Satterlee
was chairman, reported a series of resolu-
tions which advocated prohibition and denied
that high license was the solution of the
liquor problem Mr.. Satterlee, however, did
not agree with these resolutions and had
drawn up minority report. About the only
difference was the portion referring
to high license. Mr. Satterlee's resolu-
tion said that the liquor traffic
was the great political question of
the day, to be settled only through political
parties. 1t further pledges the convention to
denounce all social and political organiza-
tions which are not opposed to license. The
resolutions all contained rabid attack on
high license. Mr.. Satterlee supported his
resolution, celebrating on the old arguments.
DR.. William McKingley, favored tn majority
report. He said they all wanted the same
thing, but that his friend had pet plan,
which he wished to force on other people.
He did not propose to commit himself to any
policy. The church wanted more prayers
and less partisanship, more Methodism and
less foolery. Rev. Mr.. Morgan vigorously
defended the minority report. He said the
majority report hinted at high license,
which was trick Of hell, and
no solution. Other ministers spoke pro and
con, but DR.. S. G.. Smith, of st. Paul, created
IA sensation by saying that year ago the
third party crowd had got majority in the
conference on such resolutions as those now
introduced by the ordinary Methodists of
political intrigue. He was called to order
by the others and Bishop Fowler interrupted
and he had to withdraw the words in order
| to proceed A compromise amendment was
! introduced by Dr. w. X. Marshall, which
| opposed license of all kinds and favored the
| submission of the question to the people for
| popular vote independent of ali partisan
| association Finally the original resolutions

ADJUSTMENTS. A
Close of Maggie Mitchell's Engage
mcnt at the BOyd,

"Maggie, the Midget" Miss Mitchell 5
newest piece, was played at Boyd's last
night. 1t was given it's first representa-
tion on the same stage, three years ago.
Despite the fact that it has since been
subjected to II number of changes,
Maggie the Midget" beyond doubt, is
the most stupid piece in Miss Mitchell's S
repertoire. There is but one character
in it and that is composite one, made
up of half a dozen heroines whom Mrs.
SOuthworth and other writer's of her ilk
have introduced into their romances.
1t is needless to say that this character
is sustained by Miss Mitchell, though
her illustration of it introduces but Il
series of character sketches, which are
more or less successfully performed.
Mr.. Abbott. as usual, was a shuf1ling
stick, and Miss Clifton, though an ex-
cellentactress, struggled discouragingly
with the part of avulgar Irish woman,
the idea of which was tilched from a
dozen of the cheap novelists of the day.
The play as d whole palled upon the
audience. and had it not been for the
energy of Miss Mitchell would have
been an unequivocal failure.
